In a brief interview on the sidelines of the Paris Peace Forum, later published by Agence France Presse (AFP), Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy Secretary General Hassan al-Thawadi was misquoted regarding the issue of other countries hosting training camps during the 2022 World Cup.
A statement from the SC issued by the Government Communications Office said: "Where teams are hosted is an issue that is part of the operational plan. This decision is ultimately decided by FIFA and the respective national associations. Nothing is decided on this matter yet and it remains under discussion."
